Though our annual Retreat is geared for PIs and faculty, we know training programs and cancer centers value the knowledge their support staff brings to the team. Administrative roles, whether working in grants, education, diversity or CRTEC, are welcome to join their leaders at the CABTRAC Retreat to learn more about the processes and issues common to cancer research training programs across the country.

The 21st Cancer Biology Annual Retreat will be held at the Omni downtown hotel in Richmond, Virginia beginning with cocktails and dinner on the evening of Sunday, October 26 and ending after lunch on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

Our All-Inclusive $1250 Private Room Registration Package and All-Inclusive $1030 Shared Room Registration Package includes two-nights accommodations, six meals and all related conference fees, taxes and gratuities. Packages do not include ground transportation or parking. All Registration Packages are based on availability and may sell out. All hotel reservations are managed by CABTRAC. Discounted Host Registration is available for Members affiliated with the University of Virginia and Virginia Commonwealth University.
